Gonna be the odd one out here and say that all of these names are kinda stupid, but Lemmyverse is probably the best of the bunch.

Piefed is another federated social aggregator https://piefed.social/ akin to Lemmy.

I made a list of casual communities on Lemmy awhile ago https://lemmy.world/post/2216085 just subscribe to stuff you like and curate your own feed. Block the politics subs. Boom.

Lobsters has blocked the Brave browser since a scam in 2019. We still block it because they lie about following standards so they scrape and sell copies of websites. I’m sorry for the inconvenience, but they have previously targeted Lobsters by name and have a years-long pattern of bad behavior.

Well, that’s a new one. What you see if you visit it via Brave Browser.

Don’t let imperfection get in the way of progress. If you move slightly towards the left, you’re opening doors for more left ideology.

Without electoral reform, there’s no functional reason to. The lesser evil of the current system is Democrats. If you want to enact change, push support for the progressive wing of the party and push for electoral reform.

American internet prices are wild.

E3 really was a massive moment. Shame we won’t really have stuff like this again. I miss the yearly cringe.

Foss fanatics being completely out of touch with how normal people interact with the internet will never not be funny to me.

99.9% of people do not give a shit. They want a good experience. That’s it.

I do what I can to block trackers on my end but if your app can’t give me the experience I want then I’m not using it.
